Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and performance of the Genio™ system in adult obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients with and without complete concentric collapse of the soft palate over a period of 4.5 months of treatment (i.e. 6 months post-surgery) measured by the AHI, at rest to determine if there is a difference in performance between the two populations.

Study Arms (1)
Genio(TM) system therapy
EXPERIMENTALGenio(TM) bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation system
Interventions
Subjects will be consented, enrolled and eligibility criteria checked. If the subject is eligible, subject will proceed with the Genio(TM) implant implantation. Six (6) weeks after implantation, the implant will be activated and the subject will be assessed at 1 month plus 1 week, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 month(s) after implantation
Eligibility Criteria

- Obstructive apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 15-50 events/hour
- Participants who have either not tolerated, have failed or refused positive airway pressure (PAP) treatments.
You may not qualify if:
- Unable or incapable of providing informed written consent
- Unwilling or incapable of returning to all follow-up visits and sleep studies, including evaluation procedures and filling out questionnaires
